**Full-Service, Limited-Scope / Unbundled Options
As a full-service law firm, Access Legal Care of course offers traditional, full-service representation, including attending all hearings, negotiating with the opposing party/attorney, preparing all documents throughout the case, and providing legal advice throughout. This type of service is what most typical law firms offer exclusively, and it often requires a large up-front retainer agreement in the several thousands of dollars. At Access Legal Care, we do offer full-representation, but our up-front fees are much lower, we often can break the retainer into smaller, more manageable payments over 2-3 weeks, and then we offer a weekly payment plan after that.
Unlike many traditional law firms, Access Legal Care also offers limited-scope / unbundled legal services. Unbundling, or limited scope representation, is an alternative to traditional, full-service representation. Instead of handling every task in a matter from start to finish, the lawyer handles only certain parts and the client remains responsible for the others. This allows clients to get expert legal advice and representation on a "pay as you go" or "flat-rate" basis, spending only hundreds of dollars for each step, rather than being required to come up with a much larger up-front retainer.
During our phone consultation, we can discuss both options with you to see what is right for you, your case, and your budget.

Access Legal Care Attorneys represent clients in Arbitration Actions. Arbitration is a private process where disputing parties agree that one or several individuals can make a decision about the dispute after receiving evidence and hearing arguments. When arbitration is binding, the decision is final, can be enforced by a court, and can only be appealed on very narrow grounds. There are two types of arbitration actions in which Access Legal Care Attorneys can help: 1) Standard Arbitration (usually court-ordered or contracted-for), and 2) Christian Arbitration Services resolving a dispute between two Christians, which is a free service.
Standard Arbitration Services. Typical arbitration that most people may be involved with is that which the parties either agreed by contract that they would engage in arbitration prior to or in lieu of filing any court action against one other, or that is ordered by a Judge. This type of Arbitration is usually performed under rules set by an organization such as the American Arbitration Association (AAA), arbitrated by professional neutral arbitrators, and the decision of the Arbitrator(s) are often binding on the parties. We represent clients who are submitting their case to arbitration. We charge affordable legal fees for doing so, plus the Arbitrator(s) also charge a fee.
Christian Arbitration Services. Access Legal Care also provides a very rarely-offered type of arbitration services which is biblically based, led by a Christian attorney, and is intended to help resolve disputes between two Christians.
This service is based on the biblical passage in 1 Corinthians 6:1-7, which says: "Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? 2 Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3 Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life? 4 If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge? 5 I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge between his brethren? 6 But brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers! 7 Now therefore, it is already an utter failure for you that you go to law against one another. Why do you not rather accept wrong? Why do you not rather let yourselves be cheated?"
In this passage, the Apostle Paul is instructing believers to settle disputes either by: 1) just accepting the wrong, moving on, and letting God deal with it in His own way, or by: 2) appointing "a wise man among you…[a believer and Christian] who will be able to judge between his brethren." Paul specifically instructs believers to take their matter before other believers, rather than taking another Christian to civil court to resolve a dispute in front of a potentially non-believing Judge, and much to the dishonor of the church before the public.
It is in the spirit of this bible passage that Access Legal Care offers free Christian Arbitration Services to believers who are in a dispute with other believers. Both parties in the dispute must be professed Christians; both parties must voluntarily agree to submit their case to our law firm for these services; and both parties must agree to not sue the other in civil court unless/until there is a failure of resolution at the conclusion of this arbitration service. Neither party will pay any legal fees to us (the service is free), and we will assign an experienced, Christian, licensed-attorney as a neutral arbitrator between the two parties to seek to arbitrate and resolve the dispute.

For example, some of those options are installment agreements, an installment agreement with partial payments, an offer in compromise, not currently collective programs, bankruptcy, release of wage garnishments, stopping the IRS from levying any bank accounts, and releasing you from any IRS obligations which are past the statute of limitations.

Regardless of the outcome of the criminal prosecution, or even if there was no prosecution, crime victims can file civil lawsuits against offenders and other responsible parties. Unlike the criminal justice system, civil courts determine whether an offender or a third party is liable for the injuries sustained as a result of the crime. If so, courts may order them to pay monetary damages to the victims. While money can never fully compensate a victim for the trauma from crime or the loss of a loved one, it can be a valuable resource to help crime survivors rebuild their lives. Also, the exposure to civil liability is a powerful incentive for landlords, businessmen, and other proprietors to enact the security measures necessary to prevent future victimizations.
Potential defendants who can be liable to crime victims include:

Medical malpractice is defined as any act or omission by a physician during treatment of a patient that deviates from accepted norms of practice in the medical community and causes an injury to the patient.

Medical malpractice occurs when a health care professional or provider neglects to provide appropriate treatment, omits to take an appropriate action, or gives substandard treatment that causes harm, injury, or death to a patient. The malpractice or negligence normally involves a medical error.

A trademark is a brand name. A trademark or service mark includes any word, name, symbol, device, or any combination, used or intended to be used to identify and distinguish the goods/services of one seller or provider from those of others, and to indicate the source of the goods/services.
It is vitally important that you select or create a trademark that is both federally registrable and legally protectable.

Te'o provides answers, but more may be asked
NEW YORK — Manti Te'o tried to put one of the strangest sports stories in memory behind him, insisting he was the target of an elaborate online hoax in which he fell for a fake woman created by pranksters, then admitting his own lies made the bizarre ordeal worse.
Whether his off-camera interview with ESPN was enough to demonstrate that the Notre Dame star linebacker was a victim in the scheme instead of a participant is still an open question.
The most important judges of the All-American and Heisman Trophy finalist may be pro football teams. Te'o has finished his coursework at Notre Dame and is preparing for the NFL draft at an elite training facility in Florida, where the 2½-hour interview was conducted late Friday night.
ESPN reporter Jeremy Schaap said that the 21-year-old Te'o answered all his questions in a calm voice, and tried to clear up the mysteries and inconsistencies of the case.
Among the highlights:
- Te'o denied being in on the hoax. "No. Never," he said. "I wasn't faking it. I wasn't part of this."
- Te'o provided a timeline and details of his relationship with Lennay Kekua, his virtual sweetheart, who went through an array of medical calamities before "dying" of leukemia in September, just hours after Te'o got real news of his grandmother's death.
- He acknowledged that he lied to his father about meeting Kekua in person, then exacerbated the situation after her supposed death when he "tailored" his comments to reporters to make it sound as if their relationship was more than just phone calls and electronic messages.
"I even knew, that it was crazy that I was with somebody that I didn't meet, and that alone — people find out that this girl who died, I was so invested in, I didn't meet her, as well," Te'o said. "So I kind of tailored my stories to have people think that, yeah, he met her before she passed away, so that people wouldn't think that I was some crazy dude."
In the same part of the conversation, Te'o said: "Out of this whole thing, that is my biggest regret. And that is the biggest, I think, that's from my point of view, that is a mistake I made."
- He detailed the confusing phone conversation he had on Dec. 6, when the woman who was posing as Kekua contacted him and told him one last hard-to-believe story about how she had to fake her own death to evade drug dealers. Te'o said it left him piecing together what exactly was going on over the next few days, when he was bouncing from interview to interview while taking part in the Heisman Trophy ceremony in New York on Dec. 8 and another awards dinner in Los Angeles the next night. He mentioned his girlfriend in interviews at least three times over that period.
- Even after he went to his parents, coaches and Notre Dame officials with the story by Dec. 26, and the school provided an investigation that it says corroborated Te'o's version by Jan. 4, the player told ESPN that it was not until Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, a 22-year-old acquaintance who lives in California, contacted him Wednesday and confessed to the prank, that he finally believed Lennay Kekua was not real. Schaap said that Te'o showed him direct messages from Twitter in which Tuiasosopo admitted to masterminding the hoax and apologized.
Schaap remarked to Te'o earlier in the interview that he still talked about Lennay as if she existed.
"Well, in my mind I still don't have answers," Te'o replied. "I'm still wondering what's going on, what happened."
Tuiasosopo has not spoken publicly since Deadspin.com broke the news of the hoax on Wednesday and identified him as being heavily involved. He and his family have declined several requests for comment by The Associated Press.
Whether Tuiasosopo ultimately confirms Te'o's version of the story will go a long way toward determining where this saga is headed.
In the interview with ESPN, Te'o implied that he was not holding a grudge against Tuiasosopo.
"I hope he learns," Te'o said. "I hope he understands what he's done. I don't wish an ill thing to somebody. I just hope he learns. I think embarrassment is big enough."
Te'o was the emotional leader and best player on a Notre Dame team that went from unranked to playing for the program's first national championship since 1988. And Te'o's tale of inspired play while dealing with a double-dose of tragedy became the theme of the Irish's unexpected rise and undefeated regular season.
Not until Te'o and the Irish faced Alabama in the BCS championship did the good times end. The Crimson Tide won in a 42-14 rout, the hoax was then exposed and suddenly the dream season was tarnished.
So far no law enforcement agencies have indicated they are pursuing a criminal case in the scam, and Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick in a news conference earlier this week said the university was going to leave it up to Te'o and his family to pursue legal action. Were Te'o to pursue a lawsuit, it could expose him to answering more questions about this mess.
Swarbrick said it didn't seem as if laws were broken or NCAA rules violated. The Notre Dame athletic director had publicly encouraged Te'o to give his side of the story, and said his admiration for him had not changed.
While fans and the members of the media might not be satisfied with where Te'o has left it, he won't necessarily be compelled to answer to them — just to potential employers starting in February.
At the NFL combine, Te'o will have his physical skills and fitness tested, and he will be interviewed by NFL executives and coaches. He has been projected as a potential first-round draft pick. If his involvement in this hoax sets off red flags for teams and it causes him to slip in April's draft, it could cost him millions of dollars.
Said former Dallas Cowboys general manager and NFL draft consultant Gil Brandt: "Between now and 97 days from now when the draft comes, there'll be a lot of people investigating just what took place."

Attorney General Appeals Sentence for Wastewater Dumping
Washington PA
Observer Reporter
28 December 2012
By Jon Stevens, Greene County Bureau Chief
The state attorney general's office filed an appeal with the state Superior Court this week, claiming Greene County Judge Farley Toothman's probationary sentence given to Robert Allan Shipman was unreasonable and "did not fit the crime."
Earlier, however, Toothman defended his sentence, claiming "probation complies with the law and is within the court's discretion."
Shipman, of New Freeport, was accused of illegally dumping drilling wastewater, sewage sludge and restaurant grease into area streams, a mine shaft and on various properties throughout the area between 2003 and 2009.
He also was accused of stealing more than $250,000 by overbilling companies that hired him to haul and dispose of wastewater by-products.
Shipman pleaded guilty in February to two counts each of theft, conspiracy, receiving stolen property and tampering with public records, 10 counts of unlawful conduct and eight counts of pollution of waters.
On June 15, Toothman sentenced Shipman to 7 years of probation and ordered him to pay $257,316 in restitution to companies he over-billed, $100,000 in fines, $25,000 to the attorney general's office and to serve 1,750 hours of community service.
The commonwealth recommended Shipman be sentenced in the standard range of the sentencing guidelines for the most serious charge of theft, which is 9 to 16 months in jail.
In the appeal, Chief Deputy Attorney General James P. Barker said Shipman stole money from customers, falsified documents to mislead the state Department of Environmental Protection and polluted a number of streams without any regard to the consequences of this actions.
Toothman said Shipman had no past criminal record, was cooperative, remorseful and promptly paid restitution, fines and costs.
The court also recognized Shipman's individual and family history, evidence of his character and the fact he would never again receive a DEP permit.
"If Shipman had any overwhelming sense of remorse, he would have entered a guilty plea without an agreement, or at least expressed some sense of remorse to the victims; he did neither," Barker said.
Barker also said Shipman was able to make charitable contributions because he was running a criminal enterprise, using his employees as participants in this unlawful conduct.
In support of his sentence, Toothman further questioned the factual basis of the plea agreement and cited the state's failure to consistently prosecute polluters.
Barker countered that there is "no real evidence that the environmental laws are not enforced. Moreover, the sentencing court's orders and opinions relating to sentencing reflect a clear hostility toward the attorney for the Commonwealth and toward anyone charged with enforcing the environmental laws, as the sentencing court was of the view that these persons have not done an adequate job."
The case involved three separate aspects of criminal activity, the appeal notes.
There was the theft of more than a quarter of a million dollars by Shipman from 17 separate entities; there was the disposal of gas well production water into various streams and other waterways; and there was the falsification of records that would have allowed DEP to fulfill its duty to monitor the waterways.
"A review of the record show that the rationale for the sentence expressed by the trial court is not supported by the record or simply does not warrant this lenient treatment of a serial thief, polluter and deceiver," Barker said.
"Indeed, the record makes clear that the sentence was unreasonable and was the product of partiality, prejudice, bias or ill will," Barker concluded.
Barker then cites a statement Toothman made that Barker refers to as "most remarkable."
Toothman said, "That the plea agreement was negotiated to the complete satisfaction of the Commonwealth, defendant and the court who are now all bound together to enforce it. It may now seem that the ease and convenience of a guilty plea has become the tyranny of good intentions for the Commonwealth …"
Barker said the tyranny of good intentions refers to a book Toothman apparently has taken to heart, "The Tyranny of Good Intentions: How Prosecutors and Law Enforcement Are Trampling the Constitution in the Name of Justice," by Paul Craig and Lawrence Stratton, the latter being the director of the Stover Center for Constitutional Studies and Moral Leadership at Waynesburg University.
Based on anecdotal evidence, Barker said, Stratton and his co-author argue prosecutors abuse the plea negotiation process to deprive citizens of their constitutional rights (completely ignoring the fact that defendants such as Shipman have the right to counsel and the right to negotiate a favorable plea agreement and failing that, the right to proceed to trial).
"Needless to say, there is no room in the sentencing process for a judge to base a decision on such teachings," Barker said.

Crashing the Heights
Kyle and I had been moving for over 18 hours, skiing five miles of glacier and climbing 3,100 feet of the convoluted south west ridge of Peak 11300 in Alaska. The setting sun bathed the peaks in a soft, rosy light. As Kyle rappelled to a small col in the ridge, where we planned to bivy, I snapped a few pictures and smiled.
Kyle and I had been moving for over 18 hours, skiing five miles of glacier and climbing 3,100 feet of the convoluted south west ridge of Peak 11300 in Alaska. The setting sun bathed the peaks in a soft, rosy light. As Kyle rappelled to a small col in the ridge, where we planned to bivy, I snapped a few pictures and smiled. The weather was holding and my thoughts turned to the simple comforts of water, food, shelter and sleep. Kyle yelled that he was off rappel. I made the short rap, and clipped into a single #1 Camalot with 30 feet of rope.
Kyle was eight feet away from me, shoveling a spot for the tent, and I was rummaging in my pack for the stove when all hell broke loose. The ground below me gave way and suddenly I was upside-down and free falling. A puking feeling in my stomach coincided with the thought, Here we go.
After 30 feet the rope came tight. I pulled myself upright and watched as all of our possessions raced 1,200 pounds of snow down the 4,000-foot west face. My attention shifted to the single cam I had just whipped on. I couldn't see it, but knew that I desperately needed to unweight it. I ran my hands down my homemade tethers and pulled up my ice tools, then futilely attempted to sink them in the overhanging snow.
Kyle poked his head over the edge, yelling my name; I yelled back that I was fine, and asked him to send down the second rope. I yarded on the rope attached to the cam above, while Kyle used the other rope to tuna-haul me up.
Back on the suddenly smaller col, we stared wide-eyed at each other.
"Holy shit," I muttered.
"Give me a hug!" Kyle said, and the quick embrace served to ground me.
Almost everything was gone — tent, packs, sleeping bags, food, water, stove, rack, headlamps, cameras, everything. Standing
in a 20-foot col 3,500 feet above the glacier in the middle of the Alaska Range, I stared dumbly as the sun set.
Finally, the life-and-death gravity of the situation sank in. We needed to make some decisions quickly. I shifted my attention to what we did have: two ropes, three ice tools, one shovel, one picket, two pins, our lucky #1 Camalot and PMA (Positive Mental Attitude). We discussed digging in for the night or trying to find some of our rack while rappelling the west side of the ridge. Even though we didn't have headlamps, descending in the dark sounded better than sitting it out. Without a stove or bivy gear, a night out would leave us in much worse shape and daylight wouldn't change the fact that we didn't have a rack to rappel with. We opted to down climb the smaller, lower-angled east side of the ridge.
My nerves were still fried from the fall, and it took a lot of control to stay present as we soloed down 50- to 70-degree snow and ice into the night. During the first 1,000 feet, I told myself that I would quit this bullshit, pursue a normal life and be content with more conventional sports. I fantasized about summers spent sport climbing and road biking, a winter of lazy ski tours and guilt-free resort laps. I thought about how much of my life and personal identity had been tied into alpinism. I clearly saw how stupid it was, how quickly things can go bad and how much I had given up.
I was amazed as Kyle forged ahead armed with one ice tool and a shovel. I must have really been shaken. Keep moving, I thought. When I began feeling too fried, I recited a mantra co-opted from a friend. I love my girlfriend. I love my family. It coincided with the rhythm of tool-tool-foot-foot, and kept me focused on the task at hand, yet aware of the overall danger.
We down climbed 2,500 feet, to where the terrain cliffed out, forcing us to rappel. We took turns ferreting out flakes and pounding in chockstones to preserve our three-piece rack, all in the dark or with close inspection from our lighters. Mid rappel, I sensed the glacier growing close but couldn't tell if there was enough rope to clear the gaping bergschrund. Hanging one last time from the #1 Camalot, I repeatedly pulled up the rope and threw it, straining to hear. On the third toss I heard the rope hit snow.
Getting off the face brought little relief. Negotiating the broken seracs, steep snow slopes and tenuous snow bridges in the dark was much more complicated. We were roped together, but had no means to ascend should someone fall into a crevasse. Still, I became aware that I was actually starting to enjoy being out there, going through the process of surviving. I marveled at the beauty of the stars and silent peaks in the cold Alaskan night, but only let myself enjoy it in a limited sense, a sort of last hurrah before I finally quit alpinism. We made our way down the icefall and back to our skis and sleds. As we sat, desperately dehydrated, quietly watching the sunrise, I began to scheme on future trips: going back to Peru in June, returning to Alaska.
We split the pack of almond butter that was left in my sled, and discussed if, how and when we should try to reclaim some of our lost possessions. Most of our financial net worth was buried over there. We reluctantly rose from our comfortable seat on the sled and skied around the ridge.
The other side of the ridge was a cold, daunting place. The west face is much steeper, and it's a straight shot up to the col, 4,000 feet above. The snow cone at the bottom was littered with debris and gear. I thought about how easily I could have landed here as well. After an hour casing the place like scavengers, we finally abandoned the search efforts, having recovered a small fraction of what was buried below a thousand pounds of cornice.
We began the return to camp, skiing with 100 feet of rope between us, the wind at our backs and the sun in our unprotected eyes. The terrain was crevassed and rolling, but we hauled ass. Bombing a small snow bridge with 50 feet of slack in the system, I yelled Safe travels! at the top of my lungs. We laughed hysterically and it became our mantra. We arrived safely at camp 38 hours after leaving.
Five months later, I rode my bike south on State Street in American Fork, Utah, commuting to my part-time teaching job in cool morning air. The first rays of light caught the clouds as they floated past the peaks.
The next thing I knew, I was in the emergency room, trying to figure out what had happened. I only recalled lying on my back in the street in a tremendous amount of pain, looking at the sky and attempting to crawl away, then a concerned-looking EMT saying, Stick with me.
I was life-flighted, and underwent five hours of emergency surgery to repair a broken, displaced clavicle and severe lacerations in my neck that exposed my carotid artery and jugular vein.
The following morning the doctors told me again and again how lucky I was to be alive. I was literally less than a millimeter from cutting my jugular vein. The CT scan shows that, as the doctor put it, I shaved cells off it. I was still uncertain how this happened until the phone rang.
A woman named Adrienne told me that she had been driving south that morning and had slowed down to turn. I was riding in front of her, just right of the white line on the shoulder. She watched in horror as a man driving a catering van turned left into me, attempting to enter the exit of a McDonalds. I locked up my brakes, struck the back of his van, broke the glass, spun clockwise and landed on my face.
She found me face down, still tangled in my bike, which had been cut in half. She could hear that I was breathing but was afraid to move me in case of spinal damage. After a few moments I came to and with a grunt rolled over onto my back. A pool of blood rushed out of my neck, which was splayed open. She and another motorist held shirts over the wounds until paramedics arrived.
I spent a week in the hospital recovering from injuries including T6-T8 anterior compression fractures of my thoracic spine, C3-C7 transverse process fractures of my cervical spine, and facial fractures of my cheek and orbital floor. I learned that the van driver was 78 years old, uninsured and from out of state. The police told me that he was issued a citation for failing to yield and for improper registration. I faced a 10-month recovery prognosis, loss of income and astronomical medical bills.
Two months after the accident, I moved out of my apartment and into the basement of Kyle's parents' house. He was recovering from a trip to Pakistan, where he spent 24 storm-filled days alone on a wall. His finger was badly frostbitten and would be amputated as soon as his protein levels were high enough for surgery.
The day I was hit by the van was coincidentlly also the same day Kyle made his summit push attempting a new line on Tahu Rutum, costing him a finger and 40 pounds. Our parallel situations and my recent near misses forced me to evaluate risk, security and the fragile, fleeting nature of life.
In Alaska I had briefly fantasized about quitting alpinism to pursue safer activities like ski touring or road biking. Strangely, I was bike commuting when I came closest to death. In the mountains, you and your partner have sole responsibility for your decisions and suffer the consequences when you're wrong. Being run down in the street seems much worse.
While recovering from the accident I've reaffirmed my belief that you cannot insulate yourself from risk, and realized that my most cherished memories have emerged from engaging the unknown and embracing physical hardship.
Today I spend 20 to 30 minutes soaking my neck and shoulder under the hot shower water. Doing a yoga routine in my limited capacity feels good.
The physical therapist said I shouldn't do this, but after visualizing it all week, I can't help myself. I walk purposefully to the hangboard in Kyle's basement. I hang, and once my broken body settles under its own weight, do a pullup. Then two more. Euphoria sets in and I am overwhelmed with joy. It is too easy to let fear govern our lives: fear of failure, rejection and, ultimately, death. I say crash the heights and focus on living.
Andy Chapman, a Salt Lake based climber, artist and teacher, got his wish for a summer of easily accessible climbing, and has outlined a detailed training plan to return to the mountains.

Experts discuss energy around strategy to lure events like Formula One and the Super Bowl to New Jersey.Among the speakers at the Sheraton Meadowlands in East Rutherford were Jeff Anding, director of external affairs for the convention and visitors bureau of New Orleans, which will host the Super Bowl on Feb. 3, and Susan Townsend, vice president of visitor services for Visit Indy; Indianapolis hosted the annual football championship game in February 2012.
The Mdest conference had to be rescheduled because of Sandy, and a new session was added: "From Super Zone to Recovery Zone" featuring a discussion with Anding about the lessons from Hurricane Katrina on how a region rebuilds after a natural disaster while simultaneously maintaining or regaining its visitor appeal.
Both Anding and Townsend said the Super Bowl is a 10-day event, but they urged the local tourism community not to go into it with unrealistic expectations for the amount of business they will do.
Anding said a restaurant that normally is 60 percent full on the weekend will see a bump from the Super Bowl, but "you can't expect to retire off this four-day period — it is unrealistic. … It is up to the businesses to maximize their opportunity and not think it will be their whole year."
Townsend said Indianapolis was able to use the Internet and social media to drive business to local tourism venues and restaurants. One way the host committee helped restaurants was by texting information on the wait time at tables, so tourists could walk around the block and get a table in a few minutes, instead of waiting in line for two hours.
She urged the group to make extensive contingency plans for the weather; Indianapolis had a shovel brigade it did not have to use.
Anding said the Super Bowl committee has to get the message out that New Jersey is still a tourist destination, even after Sandy.
Townsend said the NFL will begin to plan the 2014 Super Bowl the day after the Feb. 3 game in New Orleans, and will shift into high gear next summer. "Once they turn their attention to you, it is all hands on deck," she said.
Participating in a roundtable discussion of tourism's role in economic development were Wayne Hasenbalg, chief executive of the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority; Brad Mayne, CEO of MetLife Stadium; Dennis Robinson, CEO of Grand Prix of America at Port Imperial; Jeff Gural, chairman of American Racing and Entertainment and Michael Gehrisch, CEO of Destination Marketing Association International.
Speaking during the round table discussion on "tourism as economic development" Gehrisch talked about product development from a destination marketing perspective. "Over the last few years, we have tried to reposition destination marketing as an investment," he said. "It attracts investment and creates jobs."
Hasenbalg cited a March 2012 report on how to promote tourism in New Jersey. The report favored creation of an organization to integrate tourism and events, which led to a state law redefining the mission of the sports authority.
"It has a new primary mission, marketing New Jersey through tourism and competing in the international marketplace to bring events to all of New Jersey. Events are important to the state, and the sports authority has a mission to bring events to all parts of the state," he said. "We will expand beyond the Meadowlands and bring events throughout the state, all the way to Cape May."
Gehrisch said the sports market has proven lucrative for states throughout the country. "Every city really has an opportunity to pump local cash into the public coffers. That not only affects the visitor experience, but it provides a lifestyle for residents who enjoy this after the visitors leave," he said.
Gural said racing has fallen on hard times due to its failure to market itself, and the decision years ago not to televise racing.
"We have our work cut out for us to revitalize horse racing in the Northeast," he said. "The Meadowlands is a work in progress. … We have to make it family oriented and figure out what will work and what will not work. In order for me to succeed, I have to change the image of the racetrack — it has to be a cool place to go."
Gural also said it is inevitable the state will one day allow casino gambling at the Meadowlands. "Common sense tells me there will be a casino there. We need to give Atlantic City time to turn around. But I have my fingers crossed," he said.
Robinson noted that Formula One racing is the pinnacle of racing. "When the F1 cameras come to New Jersey, we are going to be in 188 countries around the world, with 100,000 people coming to New Jersey and the metropolitan area," he said. "We are 19 months away from the race, and it is already having an economic impact on the region."

White Sox - 010 100 100 - 3 13 0Buchholz (5-6-2-1-2, 95) threw a ton of pitches early, 22 in the second, 32 in the third, and 26 in the fourth. He left the game trailing only 2-1, but the Red Sox bats were helpless.
Red Sox - 000 010 000 - 1 7 0
Boston loaded the bases with one out in the second, but Danks (7-6-1-3-5, 103) fanned Bill Hall and got Darnell McDonald on a force out. A single by Hall, a walk to McDonald and Marco Scutaro's single gave the Red Sox a run in the fifth, but the 2-3-4 hitters squandered a chance at a big inning. J.D. Drew flew out to center, Victor Martinez flew out to left, and Adrian Beltre lined to left.

The growing throngs of Mass Effect fans that have taken to the internet to demand changes to the game's ending have drawn a response from Bioware executive producer Casey Hudson, who says "insights and constructive feedback" from fans will help shape new content for the game going forward.
(Warning: the remainder of this article contains spoilers about both the shape and the specifics of the ending to Mass Effect 3)
Writing on the official Bioware forums, Hudson said the series' overall story arc was always meant to "lead to a bittersweet ending" that captured the "underlying theme of sacrifice" and "the agonizing decisions [Commander] Shepard had to make along the way." But he added that the game also includes the option for "an inspiring and uplifting ending" in which Shepard finds a kind of victory in the "hopeless struggle for basic survival."
Still, Hudson said he respects the views of the thousands of players who have expressed dissatisfaction with the way the series ended:
But we also recognize that some of our most passionate fans needed more closure, more answers, and more time to say goodbye to their stories—and these comments are equally valid. Player feedback such as this has always been an essential ingredient in the development of the series.
Giving a concrete sense of closure wasn't really a central goal for the ending to Mass Effect 3, though. In an an interview with Digital Trends early last week, Hudson said he was looking for a memorable ending that would generate "the sort of polarizing reaction that the ends have had with people—debating what the endings mean and what's going to happen next, and what situation are the characters left in."
And the precise details of that ending were apparently up in the air right through to the end of the game's development. In "The Final Days of Mass Effect 3" iPad app, journalist Geoff Keighley discusses how Hudson and writer Mac Walters were debating the final bits of end game dialogue "right up until the end of 2011," even delaying Martin Sheen's Illusive Man voice recording session from August to mid-November to give more writing time. A story planning document shown in the app points towards an ending that would include "lots of speculation for everyone," while still respecting the importance of the player's choices and feelings.
Regardless of the original intentions for the ending, Hudson assured fans on the forums that the team will "keep listening" as they design new downloadable content for the game, "because your insights and constructive feedback will help determine what that content should be. This is not the last you'll hear of Commander Shepard."
BioWare followed up with a post on the Mass Effect Facebook page today, saying that the developer is "actively and seriously taking all player feedback into consideration" and has "not made a decision regarding requests to change the ending."
The protests continue
The new statements seem to have given Bioware a little breathing room with online protesters. The "Retake Mass Effect 3" Facebook group, which now boasts over 40,000 likes and nearly 4,500 Twitter followers, recently posted that it was "giv[ing] Bioware a little more time to respond to us directly. ME3 has been out for less than two weeks, we need to give them time to realize we aren't going away."
That doesn't mean they're sitting on their hands in the meantime, though. The group finished a letter-writing campaign over the weekend, has added pages in Spanish and Russian to help get the word out internationally, and is "working on ideas to support the movement at [April's] PAX East [convention]," according to Facebook postings. The group is even putting its money where its mouth is, raising over $67,000 in donations for Penny Arcade's Child's Play charity to "bring positive attention" to their efforts. "We would like to dispel the perception that we are angry or entitled," the fundraising appeal explains. "We simply wish to express our hope that there could be a different direction for a series we have all grown to love."
But that hasn't been enough for some angry fans. One Bioware forum member recently wrote about filing complaints against publisher Electronic Arts with the FTC and the Better Business Bureau, claiming that prerelease developer interview statements regarding the ending constitute a form of "false advertising." It's a pretty shaky argument, given the vague and subjective nature of most if not all of those quotes, but it's a bold move that shows just how committed some gamers are to complaining about the game's ending.
The backlash against the ending is even getting big enough to generate a backlash of its own: A newly formed "Keep Mass Effect!" Facebook group popped up over the weekend "to show Bioware that these petitioners and lawsuit harbingers are, in fact, a minority to all those who love the Mass Effect series and how it ended." The group is off to a bit of a slow start, though, with only 27 members as of this writing.

Today in the News: NY train engineer was in a 'daze'
Quote of note
"If he was dead, dead asleep, his hands would have come off the controls and ... some of the 'dead man' stuff (train failsafes) would have come into play. But if it was kind of that twilight where you're just there and still kind of gently holding onto to things but not quite really aware, which in my mind is still sleeping. That's still sleeping." - Steven Harrod of the University of Dayton, talking after the train engineer in the New York train accident told investigators that he was "in a daze" before the accident. Four people were killed and 67 were injured.
News to know
A man was killed in the waters off Hawaii this week, marking the 13th shark attack for the state this year. Hawaii averages about four attacks a year, but they have been way up this year. The man who was killed was fishing from a kayak when a shark bit one of his feet.

This summer, Ars will turn 15. That's an eternity on the Internet, and the number one reason we're bigger and better a decade-and-a-half after our launch is the support of our readers. Some of you have been here for every step of the way, and we thank you for it.
In the spring of 2001, Ars PC users were arguing the merits of the Willamette Pentium 4 vs. the Athlon Thunderbird while Mac users were getting used to OS X 10.0. BeOS was in the midst of its death-throes, Windows users were anxiously awaiting a consumer OS that would run on the NT kernel, and Linux users were debating the pros and cons of the GNOME and KDE desktop environments.
Spring 2001 was also when we first introduced our subscription program, a way for readers to directly support the site and get some cool extras in return. That program has since morphed into Ars Premier, which offers a number of subscriber benefits, including:
- An ad-free browsing experience on all of Ars Technica
- Full-text RSS feeds, so you never have to leave your news reader
- Single-page view and PDF copies of every article
- Access to subscriber-only forums, like the infamous Lounge
- A one-year subscription to our sister publication, Wired magazine
We know that many of you prefer to enjoy Ars Technica without subscribing, and we totally respect that. But we also suspect that some of you would subscribe if we made Ars Premier a bit more compelling. So as we prepare for our 15th birthday, we're asking you: what would it take to tempt you to subscribe? Anything is on the table and all ideas are welcome, but the more realistic they are, the more likely we can make them a reality.
It's been a great (almost) 15 years, and we're looking forward to many more with your support!
